Log: Imagine situation where a security problem is found in setuid binary. User upgrades his system to fix the problem, but if he has any ZFS snapshots for the file system which contains problematic binary, any user can mount the snapshot and execute vulnerable binary. Prevent this from happening by always mounting snapshots with setuid turned off.
